Plant Profile

Prosopis chilensis (Chilean Mesquite)

Chilean mesquite is a semi-decidious tree that usually lives in deset areas. Because of its large size and having a fast growth and aggressive root system, it's mostly used in large properties and in parks. It has a multitrunked bark, with twisting branches and medium canopy.

This plant is drought and heat tolerant, so it requires little watering, and needs full sun.
